TSCT Demands Free Medical for School Staff

 

TSCT's Request to the Director General for a Free Cashless Medical Facility for Teachers, Shiksha Mitras, Instructors, and Cooks

TSCT, which stands for Teacher Self-Care Team, always works for the well-being of teachers and school workers. On a recent day, the team met with Mrs. Kanchan Verma, the respected Director General of the Basic Education Department in Uttar Pradesh. TSCT leaders Mr. Vivekanand (President) and Mr. Sudhesh Pandey (General Secretary) handed over a written request to her.
In this request, they asked for something very important: to give a free, cashless medical facility to all teachers, Shiksha Mitras, part-time instructors, and cooks who work in schools under the Basic Education Board. This means that if they fall sick or have an accident, they should get free treatment in hospitals without paying money first. Right now, this benefit is only given to some state government employees, but not to all school staff.
Why This Facility Is Important
Many teachers, instructors, and cooks in government schools work hard every day. They teach children, help them in classrooms, and also cook mid-day meals. But if they or their family members fall ill, they often do not have enough money for treatment. This can be very difficult, especially for low-paid workers like cooks and temporary instructors.
TSCT believes that health is very important, and all school staff should get medical care without worrying about money. That is why they are asking the government to give them the same benefit that is given to regular state employees — the cashless medical treatment facility.
What Happened in the Meeting
In the meeting, Director General Mrs. Kanchan Verma listened carefully to the request made by TSCT. After receiving the letter, she marked the letter and said that she would talk to the government officers. She promised to support the request and try to convince the government to provide this facility.
She also talked to the TSCT team and appreciated the good work they are doing for teachers and staff. She gave her best wishes and said that she is happy with the efforts of TSCT.
About TSCT – Teacher Self-Care Team
TSCT is a group that works to help teachers and their families. They are not a government group, but a team made of teachers and volunteers. They raise their voice when teachers face problems, and they talk to the government to solve those problems. They believe that teachers should live a safe, healthy, and happy life.
They have helped many teacher families in the past when someone got sick, had an accident, or faced a family problem. They also raise awareness about health, safety, and financial matters.
What TSCT Wants
TSCT wants that:
All Basic Education teachers, Shiksha Mitras, part-time instructors, and cooks should get the benefit of free treatment in hospitals.
The facility should be cashless, meaning the patient does not need to pay anything at the hospital. The government will pay the hospital directly.
There should be a proper system for giving this facility, like an ID card or digital app, that makes it easy for teachers to get treatment.
The facility should be available in good hospitals (government and private) so that the teachers can choose the best care for themselves and their families.
The benefit should cover all major illnesses, accidents, surgeries, and emergency care.
Why It Is Needed Now
Teachers, Shiksha Mitras, and other school workers are the backbone of the education system. But many of them get low salaries and do not have job security. When someone in their family falls ill, they sometimes take loans or sell their things to pay hospital bills.
During COVID-19 and other difficult times, many school staff suffered because they did not have a medical safety net. TSCT saw this problem and decided to raise their voice to help these hardworking people.
Health is a basic need, and no teacher should suffer because they cannot afford treatment.
Support from the Director General
Director General Mrs. Kanchan Verma is a senior officer in charge of schools and teachers in the state. When TSCT gave her the letter, she gave a positive response. She said she will forward the request to the government and try her best to help.
She also said that she understands the importance of good health for teachers and staff. She praised TSCT for their hard work and concern.
What Will Happen Next
After the meeting, the next steps are:
The education department will study the request and prepare a note for the government.
The state government will review the demand and discuss whether it can provide the facility.
If the government agrees, they may issue an order to start the cashless health facility for school staff.
Hospitals will be listed, and a process will be made for school workers to use the facility.
TSCT will keep talking to the government and officers until the facility is approved.
A Message to All Teachers and Staff
TSCT says to all teachers, instructors, and cooks:
"We are with you. We will keep working for your health and safety. Your service to children and society is priceless, and you deserve respect and support."
They ask all teachers and workers to support this movement and spread the message.
If everyone supports this demand, it will reach the top leaders and officers. Then one day, all school staff will get free treatment and medical security.

The meeting between TSCT and Director General Mrs. Kanchan Verma was an important step towards getting free, cashless medical care for school staff. TSCT has once again shown that they care for the teachers and support staff of government schools. With the help of officers and the power of unity, this dream can come true. All school staff deserve a healthy and worry-free life. TSCT will continue this fight with honesty, love, and dedication.
